Mi Tierra in San Antonio

While you’re in this region, you’ve gotta have classic Tex-Mex and few restaurants are as iconic as San Antonio’s Mi Tierra. Come for the homemade cheese enchiladas smothered in chili and stay for the roaming mariachi band and thousands of lights dangling from the ceiling.

Taquitos Ravi in Laredo

To munch on authentic street tacos, head to this family-owned taqueria that has the locals raving – so much so, they’ve got locations all over town. I suggest the tasty tripas tacos on homemade corn tortillas.

Herbert’s Taco Hut in San Marcos

This is another Tex-Mex institution you’ve got to add to your list – they boast the “Best Enchiladas” in the county and authentic, secret recipes that draw folks in from miles around. Wear your stretchy pants and prepare for an epic feast!
